Axe of the Legion

Random world drop, got one from a chest in Slave Pens.

Really nice axe , used it from 63-70 on my shaman , Well worth the money you will pay on the AH

These axes rock. I have 2 of em on my shammy. The only thing I have found is that the +14 axe skill bonus is actually only +4. I put a ticket into Blizzard and they said they were aware of it but gave no mention of when if ever to expect a fix. 04-07-07

That would actually be the correct amount. Its a 14 rating, not skill. The same as with any other rating stat. +4 to the actual skill sounds about right.

+28 axe skill rating

from what i know Ork's axe spec (racial) which is +5 to skill gives 3% to hit so +8 from both axes will increase smth like +5% if you're dual wield Ork shamm (or warrior) as i am its very nice choice.

its actually 14 rating expertise now (4.99 actual expertise), making these axes worth even more. combined with the orc racial of +5 expertise makes these axes the best thing you can dw till 68+. 4.99 expertise per axe (14 rating = 4.99 actual expertise) 5 expertise orc racial = 14.98 .25 x 14.98 = 3.745 less dodges and parries by what your attacking (or 7.49% more attacks landed)

dropped tonight for me. Its funny, i'm searched it in AH for days. Dropped by a Wolf in Terokkar, my shaman is very happy now.

Dualwielding Perdition's Blade & This on my old shammy who's only alt now. Nice leveling dps =)

got it from infested root-walker xD its so nice xD

After seeing this in the AH for about 100-120g, I thought that I never get this, but today, I found it with only 12g. I have no idea why it was so cheap, but of course, I bought it. Now I just need 11 levels to use it, but it's good to know that you have a good weapon waiting for you :)

were i can find this axe?

Dropped of a Cabul Abjurist in Shadow Tomb.

Also dual wielding this on my 64 troll shamman =D Axe in main hand enchanted with Crusader Axe in off hand enchanted with +20 strength when crusader has procced and windfury proc's i blast almost 3k melee dmg ^^

I am going for 2 of these on my Warrior with Fury specc and ofc Mongoose on both of them... Simply to see how it will be

Just bought 2 of these from AH for my shammy, cost me 150g, it was worth it if only for the badass look DWing them.

Is mongoose visible on the weapon or does it keep it's 'red-ish' glow?

mongoose effect does not show on this weapon

Who puts a 300g enchant on a 50g weapon (besides twink weapons which are rarely replaced)?

If you like the stats of this axe then you might want to get the [url=http://www.wowhead.com/?item=27490]Firebrand Battleaxe[/url] later on which is pretty much the level 70 version of this.

Just got my axe in Zangamarsh, it just droped off a one of the bog's in the spawning glen when i was farming rep with sporegar(64 fury warrior) works wonders and has a cool glow.

I got this as a drop from a thornfang bug in Hellfire, put it up on AH. Went to bed came back 118g richer! I was only going to sell it for about 40, aswell. I hope whoever bought it enjoys it as much as I did!

got this out of a chest in Blood Furnace, great weapon i will be using it on my warrior for a long time

Would really like to this drop on my server, i would pay good. I saw a lvl 63 humen warrior today dual wielding them. Bloodhoof sever

This axe will be highly sought-after by Dual-Wielding Death Knights. Expect the price to skyrocket when WotLK comes out.

Awesome axe! Been using it for a tanking weapon on my prot warrior. + expertise=greater chance to hit and greater dmg on hit=more threat when I use my Devastates and Sunders. Great weapon not only for Shaman but warriors as well

Been using it on my dk...... works really well for tankin. I got it off ah for 75g workin on gettin another one But yea its a great axe

got one in a chest in the blood furnace. best aprt about this thing its BoE. cha ching

Is this axe better than the ones from thrallmar? (Lv 60 ones) ? im a DK :P

As a dual wielding DK, a pair of these will be greatly superior to the 2X Grunt's Waraxe combination you mentioned Not only are they much slower(thus better serve your strikes, and the ToT benefit) but they're also of a higher item level. Also, the expertise from these would be much better than the hit from the waraxes(personal opinion) and you also gain more attack power as the waraxes will grant a total of 44 AP, while these provide 32 str which equals 64 AP for a DK. Sorry about the wall of text, but in short, yes these are better than the thrallmar axes.

This is amazing for DKs and is still pretty great for other classes, though not as much, since strength was nerfed for shamans.

Expertise is of two-fold use to tanks. First, by reducing the target's avoidance, it improves a tank's threat generation (more of his/her attacks will land). More importantly, because mobs may attack more quickly after parrying an attack, expertise reduces the total damage that the tank may receive by reducing the chance that his target parries. The increase in attack speed varies (from 0-40% of the speed of the parried attack), and can stack if multiple attacks are parried in rapid succession, leading to a potential source of massive burst damage. Even more so if you're a Tankadin. Got this off of AH for 19g....a massive steal.

Sold this for 100g today. Starting to think I should have put it up for 500 or 1000.

My warrior DW these. It was worth the gold i paid for them.

I know it's a world drop, but has anyone tried farming this and farmed it multiple times successfully, bcus i'm wondering what mob it drops off the most. I'd ove to have this on my tankadin, since a bunch of the tank weapons in the lvl 60 bracket r pretty shabby compared to this.

I found one in a chest in Zangarmarsh. Keep your eyes peeled for those, they usually contain sweet blues.

RE: Patrik... I wasn't trying to farm it, but got two yesterday. One from a chest and one from random quest trash. I recommend watching for chests and the AH. Was just checking here to see how I should price 'em.

Wow, the huntard in screenshot 6 even dares to mention he is dual wielding these on a hunter. I guess it's just his loss since these are BoE....

[i]"Hunter, you will want every single weapon in the entire freaking game...."[/i]

looks great for transmogging

Popular transmog item (reasons obvious to anyone). easily sold for 500-1000 gold on most servers.

Does anyone know if the fiery glow effect sticks if you use this for transmog? The color of the axe itself is perfect for what I'm looking for, but the bright orange fire throws it off. :/

yea the fiery glow stays, and will override the glow of any enchant you have on your weapon (so goodbye ugly landslide!)

The orange glow DOES stay on the weapon if you transmog to it. I have the axe off Deathwing with Landslide on it, and transmogging it to this item causes it to glow orange, not yellow.

(This answer cost me 145g)

These are the Axes the Grunt's used prior to [url=http://www.wowwiki.com/Horde]Thrall's Horde[/url], in warcraft 2 and 1 respectively Grunt's use this as their weapons, as part of the demonic manipulated hordes of the [url=http://www.wowwiki.com/Dark_Horde]Dark-Horde[/url], so yes these are by all means an Orcish-Weapon that was created during the times they were under the Legion's Influence, [b]that asides if you X-MoG this weapon the orange glow on this overrides your enchant's glow.[/b]

Got one through great salvage crate, looks nice dual wielding with [transmog-set=353]

Just got this on my warrior alt in Zangarmarsh, from a marshfang slicer.

(final) Stats during TBC, before WotLK: 95 - 177 Damage (56.7 damge per second) +16 Strength +15 Stamina +14 Expertise rating
